Consider the points of square as (a,0)(b,0)(a,c) and (b,c)Side of the square is b-a (horizontally)if b>a and c (vertically)c=b-a ---(1)Also the points (a,c) and (b,c) lie on the parabolac=a^2-8a+12 ----(2)c= b^2-8b+12 ---(3)Subtracting 2 and 3 we geta^2-b^2-8a+8b=0(a-b)(a+b)=8(a-b)a+b=8 ---(4)b=8-aSolve equation 1 and 3 using equation 4c=b-(8-b)=2b-82b-8=b^2-8b+12b^2-10b+20=0(b-5)^2=5b-5=√5,-√5b=5+√5,5-√5But the curve intersects x-axis at x=2 and x=6So value of b is 5-√5Value of a is 8-(5-√5)=3+√5Side of the square is |b-a| = 2√5Area of the square =( √20 )^2 = 20 sq.units
